Wheel Horse Collector 47 #1 Posted January 25, 2015 Just bought a wheel horse 1056. The motor on the tractor was stuck. Fixed that today then come to realize that the ignition doesn't work right and the fuel pump is broken. I can run it on starting fluid. Cant wait to dig into this project.

slammer302 2,154 #2 Posted January 25, 2015 Looks good still has the original steering wheel and seat pan if you want to you can run a gas line from the gas tank straight to the carb and it will work for a joyride My commando 8 has been like that sense I've had it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howie 884 #4 Posted January 25, 2015 No, if you hang a small tank on it alittle higher and by pass the pump it should gravity flow into the carb. David 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Collector 47 #5 Posted January 25, 2015 Ok. I'll have to try that. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #6 Posted January 25, 2015 If it has the gas tank under the hood it should gravity feed fine as long there is plenty of gas in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie 884 #7 Posted January 25, 2015 X2 Sometimes I just use another I have because of running a richer mixture of Seafoam thru the carb. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrblanke 840 #11 Posted January 26, 2015 I replaced the rubber piece on my pump with some rubber from Buckrancher. If you check out the thread below, you will see where I did mine. It works great. Post number 5: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
